Say what you want about Huff, I agree that we do need him. He brings something to the table that the other guys can't bring. He also is a very good lockdown defender and that is something you will need this year, especially against Montana. I am at least encourage that they used "precaution" and he is traveling with the team, so that at least brings some optimism.
If we get Nash, at the very least it gives us some much needed depth at the 4 and 5 spots. If they say he is as athletic as Huff is, that will be fun to watch.
We have 3 big road games against teams that could make the NCAA's. UNI might have the best team they have had since Farokhmaneshimania was running wild in the NCAA tourament in 2010. Hawaii is not the program they once were with Gib Arnold at the helm and a potential NBA player in Joaquin. Then they have SDSU, which could make a cinderella like run this year. They have Wolters, who is getting National Player of the Year recognition, but they also have a dangerous 2nd fiddle in Dysktra, who could be a 1st team Summit player and is lethal from behind the arc (at 6'8). Gonna be a challenge, but fun at the same time.
